X-Ray, Novae

Scientific paper

The very bright super-soft X-ray phase of the recurrent nova RS Oph has been extensively observed by the Swift XRT. The highly variable soft X-ray flux reported in ATEL #764 and ATEL#770 stabilised significantly after 2006 Mar 31.4; the XRT observations have subsequently shown a linear decline between Apr 12.1 and Apr 28.7 from 208 to 98 c/s (0.2-10 keV, 100 c/s corresponds to 1.95e-8 erg/cm^2/s unabsorbed in this band).
